I don't think its that much work...certainly very little on your end.

Are you messing with me??

Of course I'm messing with you. Nah, I'm not. Or maybe. No, I'm serious.:confused:

But I think I'll just stick with the same one. How would I explain it to all of my fans.:D

Cintron's not bad with the bat. I mean as far as Orioles shortstops go.

With the bat, no. The bigger issue would be removing Castro's glove from the game for the bottom of the ninth. After Fahey's performance last night it's pretty clear that Castro's the guy we need in there right now to protect a lead.

I agree.

That's true, I didn't think about taking Castro's glove out of the game.:o

As the board's resident marketing person (isn't it fun to make up titles?! I feel like I'm in the O's front office right now!), I've run studies in the last 5 minutes based on your marketability between waroriole and wariole. You definitely reach a more broad demographic by making the switch. It rolls off the tongue much easier. waroriole is bulky and cumbersome. wariole is streamlined, hip, and makes you come across as witty. Our experts (some guy I asked out on the street outside) estimate that you may increase your fan base anywhere from 120-180% of your current fan base. That's growth you shouldn't overlook. This isn't even touching the fact that your posts, due to your witty screen name, will be respected far more than they are now.

Really, in my expert opinion, the pros of this name change vastly outweigh the cons. If C.C. can go to CC and feel no repercussions, there's no reason that you can't make the switch to wariole.

Oh yeah I agree. Especially after Fahey's display last night, I want Castro out there. I was just saying that Cintron isn't a bad PH option.

Well, I guess if you've done all the research. Did you contact the "OFFICIAL" fan club?

      9/26: A Weak Effort In New York

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      I was at a meeting and came out to the Orioles down 1-0. I looked away for what seemed like a minute and it was 5-0, then 7-0. Do we know why Burnes was lifted after just 69 pitches after 5 innings? Was he hurt? Do we know why Cano was brought into the game in the 6th (Have to imagine his adrenaline may not have been as flowing at that stage of the game)?  Obviously the bullpen was pretty horrific last night, but could some of this be because Hyde was using guys who typically are late in game relievers in the 6th inning?

      Is there a 5th O's #1 Prospect?

      By OriolesUpAndDowns · Posted

      Good point on the age.  I think it would have to be someone like Nate George from this year's draft just blowing up next year. The story would be how everyone missed on him because he played in a cold weather state.

      First, Schmidt is having a better year than Cole. Second, the O's teed off Ragans and Lugo last time they faced them.

      Elias needs to use better judgement when he dumpster dives, prepare better for the high percentage chance that his dumpster diving pickups will fail, and increase usage of other means to get pieces. Bullpen usage is another problem, but it’s hard to effectively juggle flaming torches. A wrong move burns badly

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By e16bball · Posted

      I can see the case for Mountcastle based on defense alone, but what has Kjerstad done to warrant that kind of treatment? Is it the .505 OPS he’s put up since coming back? The overall .438 ML OPS since getting hit in the head? I’m as bummed as anyone that his season got derailed, but if you’re talking about where they are right now — he’s not your huckleberry. As for O’Hearn, he’s 8 for his last 23 (.348), with 3 doubles. That feels a little like the “getting himself together” that you referenced. He had an awful month-long slump, but he also has an extended track record (over 1.5 seasons) of excelling in the role he’s now back in, as the platoon LH 1B/DH guy. He had a 125 wRC+ in those 750 PAs as an Oriole until 8/20, which is roughly when Mountcastle went out.  I’d be good with Kjerstad DHing against LH starters, because there’s good reason to think he hits them better than O’Hearn. And if they want to play both O’Hearn and Kjerstad against some RHPs, in order to set up the potential of Mountcastle coming in to PH against a lefty reliever, I’m down for that too. But the primary alignment is going to (and should) be the Mountcastle/O’Hearn duo we’ve gotten accustomed to seeing.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      The Achilles heel for this team is going to be the unit that doesn't step up in the postseason. I can easily see scenarios where: the bullpen is hot and provides good performances but the offense sputters and isn't clutch the offense comes up big but the bullpen blows games late starting pitching tosses some clunkers (not really likely with Burnes and Eflin) and they can't recover the defense sucks and gives opponents extra outs to work with, blowing games open when the bullpen or SP would have been able to escape and continue We've seen all of these units falter at one point or another during this season.  We've also seen all of these units perform very well at different times throughout the season.  So, we'll see what turns out to be the Achilles heel for the Orioles in the playoffs starting next week.
